C3C Scenario/Mod: Rising Sun

[Pawel]

Saltpeter may not be as innocent as it sounds. It allows several new powerful units such as the Grand Battery, Musket Infantry, Naval Infantry, and the Ship-of-the-Line.

In general, this scenario is very trade oriented. Resources are scarce, and not everyone will be able to build everything. This means that there will be distinct shifts in the balance of power during the game. In the late game, there are also many units that use different combinations of resources than in the basic game, thus creating a large variety in capabilities between different civs...

It seems you are doing well so far, though!

Now you tell me... Great I've just made Egypt the next superpower.

Other 2 screenshots have been uploaded. I was supposed to be doing my homework but yeah whatever. BTW it's your fault if I get in trouble.

 

[Vasili]

Which are the civs of this scenario?

 

[Pawel]

silver 2039:
You are right, one should never underestimate the Chinese. And note that many of their cities are located on hills...

I feel a little bad about having such a terrible influence, though.

Vasili:
The civilizations in the scenario are (in editor order):
Rome
Egypt
Germany
Russia
China
America
Japan
France (in West Africa)
India
Persia
Aztecs
Zululand
Iroquois
England (and Australia)
Mongols
Spain (in South America)
Scandinavia
Arabia
Carthage
Korea
Byzantines
Inca
Maya

EDIT: In the mod (random map games) all the standard civs are available, except that the Celts have been replaced by Poland (which uses a new leaderhead, has a new UU, etc).

This is my plan of attack I'm almost ready.

Edit Why do my screenshots never upload sigh I'l do it later.

 

[Pawel]

If the Mongols are now busy with the Byzantines, maybe the time has come to strike! After a few battles I guess you'll see if conquering all of China is a possibility. If not, there is always the next time.

 

[silver 2039]

I make some tech trades for gpt. I just noticed a Arab city is Persian.
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/Mogudishu.JPG

and move it on fortress next to Bejing after declaring war.

 

[silver 2039]

grrr screenies did'nt upload.

 

[Pawel]

I can't wait to see the screen shots. I am very curious about what the SOD actually stands for. By the way, if you have metallurgy, don't forget that the Asian powers have really cool artillery! It may come in useful softening up the Chinese lines...

 

[silver 2039]

SOD= stack of doom. I'm uploading my screens now.

 

[Pawel]

So, how are things going? Any success invading China?

 

[silver 2039]

Actually I hav'nt had any time to play. Been really busy packing and stuff. I'll try to play tommrow.

 

[silver 2039]

The 28th my computer is being disconnected and packed. I may be able to continue using my lab top but I'm not sure I'll see and let you know if I can. Sorry.

 

[Pawel]

I understand. Real life is more important! In any case, if you decide that there will be no more opportunities to play, maybe you could post the last save?

Or so I thought. China signa allaince against me with Carthage, Arabia, Aztecs, Zulu, Germans, Iroquis, Mayans, Spanish and Inca. OH ****! This is going to be a problem.

 

[silver 2039]

I sign alliance with the Romans, Byzantines, Russians, French, Persians, Mongols and Scandavians against everyone I'm at war with.\ except China.
The Great War has started.

Allies: Japan, Rome, Byzantines, Russsia, France, Persia, Mongolia, Scandnavia

Central Powers: China, Iroquis, Aztecs, Zulu, Germans, Maya, Inca, Arabs, and Carthginians

Neautrals: Egypt, India, America and England

Right now we thw Allies have the advantge. I can overuun China easily and Persia and France will have some trouble though. France has been badly weakend by Egypt and could be conquered by Carthage or Zuluand. Persia will have to help them. In Europe the Byzantines, Romans, Russians, and Scandnavians can kill Germany eaisly. I can also take the nearby German colony. Also in Siberia is Arab colonies.
In Americsa it's a whole diffrient matter everyone there except the Americans are at war with us and the Americans won't help. Neither will any of the other Neautrals. If the Neautrals sid with the Central Powers it could tip the balance in favor of them. Have to wact out for them.

 

[Pawel]

How interesting! Looking at your list, however, I would say that since most of your enemies are in Africa and America and most of your allies in Euroasia, things shouldn't be too difficult.

Anyway, your investments in unit producing wonders (Templars and Spies/Ninjas) seems to have paid off! I am a little surprised at the weakness of the Chinese defences, though, both in terms of quantity and quality. Maybe they fought a war recently? I remember Mr Black worrying about stacks of 50 Infantry... The Chinese have some of the best cities in the game, so they should have the economic potential. Still, timing is important in war, and now those cities are yours! Since you have developed Musket Infantry and Japanese Cavalry, taking them back should not be easy for the Chinese or their allies.

It will be interesting to see if the AI will gang up on you as you become more powerful. Once England and India enter the war things may become a little more unpredictable... Still, maybe you will conquer all and rule the world!

 

[silver 2039]

Pawel I can continue this scenario but it may be a week or 2 before I am able to do so. Is that ok with you?

 

[Pawel]

Of course! There is no hurry!
